Yak-9 aircraft are considered by many to be the best Soviet fighter of World War II. t
Yak-9 aircraft first flew in October of 1942. The Yak-9 was the first Soviet production fighter capable of besting German fighter aircraft.
Yak-9 construction involved the use of lighter and stronger materials as the war progressed. Eventually the Yak-9 aircraft used mostly aluminum materials for light weight. Engines also increased in power and reliability.
Various models of the Yak-9 included the standard version 9M, a longer range 9D and an extra long range bomber escort designated the 9DD. The ultimate version was the Yak-9 model U, made entirely of metal. It was deployed in July of 1944.
Yak-9 model U aircraft originally used VK109PF-2 engines that gave it a top speed of about 410 mph. When the engine was upgraded to the VK-107-A in November of 1944, top speed of the Yak-9 increased to 435 mph.
Yak-9 aircraft were produced through March of 1946. Yak-9 aircraft were used by North Korea at the start of the Korean War. A total of 16,769 Yak-9 aircraft were produced.

Airplanes:
Pictured above is the RC Yak-9 airplane from Red Star RC. The radio control airplane is 1/7 scale. Wing span of the rc airplane is 55". The fuselage of the radio control airplane measures 50". Materials used in the construction of the RC Yak-9 airplane are balsa and ply. To power the radio control airplane two stroke engines from .40 to .46 are recommended. The rc airplane should weigh from 5 to 5 1/2 lbs. upon completion.
The first picture below is of the Yak-9 radio control airplane from Warbird Kits. The rc Yak-9 airplane has a wing span of 31". Length of the radio control airplane is 26". A Speed 400 or Mega 16/15 motor is recommended as power for the RC Airplane.
HET RC has a Yak-9 radio control airplane. The RC Airplane is sold as an ARF. Wing span of the radio control airplane is 27.5". Recommended power for the RC Airplane can be a Typhoon 6/15 or 6/20 motor.
The second picture below is of the radio control airplane from FVK. The rc Yak-9 airplane has a wing span of 31.5". Recommended power for the radio control airplane is a Speed 480 size or Mega 16/15/3 motor. We understand that the RC Yak-9 Airplanes were never released for sale.
The final picture on this page is of the nice looking Yak-9 radio control airplane scratch built by Mtflyr of RC Groups. The rc airplane is constructed from Depron foam. A 22T CD ROM motor powers the radio control airplane.
